"Uh! Okay." Seeing Zheng Junyong's greedy look, Li Wen helplessly broke off half of the bun and handed it over.

"The seasoning and the roasted oil are both fragrant, and it tastes really good." Zheng Junyong picked up the steamed buns and wiped the plate clean.

After eating, Li Wen scalded the lunch box in the faucet and returned to the office with Zheng Junyong.

"Taozi, I asked you to go to the boiler room just now and you didn't go. Now I can only pat my thighs!" Back in the office, Zheng Junyong vividly described the deliciousness of the roasted rabbit, which made several temporary workers swallow their saliva.

"You are such a bitch. You don't know how to bring me a piece of good food. You are still a brother who lives in the upper bunk. You are all friends." Brother Tao is also a young man in his twenties, named Li Hongtao.

Zheng Junyong and Li Hongtao are the live treasures in the office. They seem to be talking about cross talk all day long, and they are possessed by funny jokes.

At noon, Li Wen sorted out the forms and had nothing to do in the afternoon. He ran to the boiler room to listen to Old Man Zhao talk about his past affairs.

Old man Zhao talked for a whole afternoon before he finished telling his story. In the end, Li Wen said with emotion that life is easy, life is easy, but life is really not easy.

The bell rang, it was time to get off work, and another day passed.

"Xiao Wen, remember the place tomorrow!" At the parking lot, Tao Hong reminded Li Wen to remember to bring rabbit meat tomorrow.

"I know, Sister Tao!" Li Wen said with a bitter smile.

After get off work, Li Wen did not go back directly, but came to the seed shop.

"Comrade, what seeds are there in the store now?" Li Wen walked into the small seed store and looked at the middle-aged man smoking with his legs crossed and asked with a smile.

"All the seeds are on the counter. See what you need." The man said without raising his head.

"Yes, you are awesome!"

Li Wen looked at the man's expression of enjoyment and cursed in his heart.

After walking around, there are not many varieties, 90% of them are vegetable seeds, and there are only a dozen kinds of grain seeds. Most of Li Wen's spaces have collected them.

"Comrade, I've watched it, please help me get it." Li Wen looked at the man leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, and slapped the table.

There was a thump, and the man almost fell off the chair.

"What did you do? You broke the glass. Can you afford to pay for it?" The man stood up angrily.

"What's your attitude? I went into the store to buy something, and you crossed your legs and had a cigarette in your mouth. Is this what a salesperson should do? Be careful and I'll report you." Li Wen snorted coldly and asked.

When the man saw that Li Wen, a young man, not only was not intimidated by him, but actually defeated him, his momentum immediately dropped.

"what would you like!"

"Bring me half a catty of barley seeds, glutinous rice seeds, and some of these vegetable and fruit seeds." Li Wen pointed out the seeds he didn't have one by one.

"Can you afford so many seeds for one child?" The man looked at Li Wen doubtfully.

"Calculate how much it costs in total." Li Wen did not answer, but directly took out two big black tens.

After a final calculation, more than a dozen kinds of seeds cost more than 6 yuan. Li Wen didn't say anything and just paid.

"Comrade, why don't you have medicinal seeds here?" Li Wen asked after buying the seeds.

"Go to Baicaotang. That's where medicinal materials are bought and sold. We don't sell medicinal seeds here." The man didn't even blink when he saw Li Wen buying things, and his attitude became much better.

Li Wen did not say thank you, picked up the seed cloth bag and left the seed store directly.

After asking several people along the way, I finally found Baicaotang at the east gate.

"This is it. This place looks like a time-honored brand!" Li Wen looked up at the plaque on the door and walked in.

"Comrade, do you buy medicine or sell medicine?" As soon as Li Wen walked into the store, a young man in charge of reception came over.

"Hey! Your service is good." Li Wen was surprised when he saw the young man's attitude.

Finally, after the young man explained it to Li Wen, he realized that it turned out that he owned this store, so no wonder the service was so positive.

"Comrade Shangguan, then your store is not jointly owned yet?" Finally, Li Wen couldn't help but asked what was in his heart.

"A notice has been issued from above, but I can't bear to part with it! This store in my family is already the seventh generation of my generation, more than three hundred years ago." The young man said with a bitter smile.

"So that's it!" Li Wen said thoughtfully after hearing this.

After some understanding, this young man’s name is Shangguan Duzhong, and even his name is a medicinal material, which shows how obsessed the elders are with medicinal materials.

Shangguan Duzhong's family has been operating a pharmacy since the late Ming Dynasty. It has been more than 300 years ago. It is a century-old store.

However, due to economic problems, it is necessary to plan the distribution of materials, and the government requires public-private partnership. Shangguan Duzhong's grandfather was reluctant to part with it, so he kept putting it off.

"I came here today to buy some medicinal seeds. I wonder if you have any in this store?" After chatting for a while, Li Wen revealed his purpose.

"Tell me what seeds you want. As long as the medicinal materials can be grown in Qin Province, my store has more or less stocks." Shangguan Duzhong said with a smile.

"As expected of a century-old store, I speak with confidence." Li Wen smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"In that case, I want all your seeds." Li Wen finally came across a private store that didn't have many rules, so he directly asked Bao Yuan.

"What! What did you say?" Shangguan Duzhong said in shock.

"I said, I want all the medicinal seeds in your family." Li Wen took out a stack of big black ten, shook it, and repeated with a smile.

"Do you really want them all? But we can't sell them all to you, we still have to run the business." Shangguan Duzhong was stunned for a moment and said.

"It's all going to be a public-private partnership. If you keep anything, I can sell it all." Li Wen said speechlessly.

"Okay, you sit down and have a sip of tea first, and I'll go talk to my dad." Shangguan Duzhong stood up and hurried towards the counter.

"Dad, there is a young man who wants to buy all the medicinal seeds in our family." Walking into the inner room, Shangguan Eucommia hurriedly said to a middle-aged man in his forties.

"All the medicinal seeds in our house are not scammers, right?" The middle-aged man was also stunned.

"No, he just took out a stack of big black tens, which cost at least a thousand yuan. He must really want to buy it." Shangguan Duzhong explained.

"Since he wants it, let's sell it all! The higher-ups have already issued a notice that it must be a joint venture before the year. Your grandfather and I have discussed that if we don't want to jointly operate it, we can just sell it." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said.

"ah!"

"Then our brand, which has been in existence for more than 300 years, will be gone." Shangguan Duzhong's face suddenly turned pale.

"The three-hundred-year-old plaque belongs to our Shangguan family, not the Baicaotang plaque." The man stared blankly at the Baicaotang placed on the altar and sighed.

"Dad, I understand." Shangguan Duzhong glanced at the Baicaotang sign and walked out of the room with red eyes.

"Comrade Li, we have already agreed that all these medicinal seeds can be sold to you. But you have to wait. There are more seeds. I will have people move them." Shangguan Duzhong walked to the front hall and said with a smile.

"Okay, I just made a special trip to buy seeds today. It doesn't matter how long it takes." Li Wen smiled and nodded.

Li Wen didn't expect that he had to wait for more than an hour, and he felt sleepy while sitting.

It wasn't until Shangguan Eucommia took him to the backyard that Li Wen truly saw the heritage of a century-old store.

"Good guy!"

There were hundreds of dustpans of different sizes placed in the yard, as well as hundreds of large and small sacks.

"How many seeds do you have at home?" Li Wen asked in shock.

"There are 382 species in total, which can be planted in Qin Province. My family has collected the rarer ones. Of course, we have not collected the Chinese herbal medicines that are available in the fields, so their preservation is of little significance." Shangguan Duzhong said proudly.

"Niubi!"

Li Wen silently gave two thumbs up at this time.

"What! What kind of medicinal material is Niubi? We don't have Niubi here." Shangguan Eucommia asked in confusion.
